    How to get the Microsoft Store on Windows 8.1


    I need to know if there's a way to download and install the Microsoft Store on Windows 8.1. Not the Windows Store, the Microsoft Store. I'm looking to get Mail and Calendar on my PC, but without the Microsoft Store, I can't. The current Mail app for Windows 8.1 doesn't work, and the built-in Windows Store is pretty much dead. There's got to be a way to have the modern Microsoft Store on Windows 8.1.

    :)

    Unlocked Realtek HD Audio Drivers Windows 7 & 8 (With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    Windows 8 Gets "Overwhelmingly Negative" Response from Vendors, Expectations Plummet

    Is Windows 8 also moving more to a closed environment, in that applications will need to be "approved" by microsoft before they can run on windows 8, or is that just to be listed on the app store?

    How to get the Microsoft Store on Windows 8.1

    Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

    I agree 8 is awful! It's not for me though... I replaced a broken screen in a Win 8 laptop that was given to me and I am going to give it for free to someone that can't afford one so they can do homework at home. Yes I took it from 8 to 8.1 back on 10/09/2014. This is what I posted there...

    "Great post! I found a similar one. I would like to point out that you may want to edit your OP...

    1. Step 1 should read to disable AUTOMATIC updates, not disable manual updates.

    2. KB2871398 should really read KB2871389

    I would like to say that KB2917499 may also be needed as it was in my case. I also had to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter after installing those 2 updates. After these steps I was able to begin my 8.1 download from the Microsoft store. I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I also went into the Bios and disabled "Secure Boot."

    It was a helpful post. Thanks!
